Electrolyte Zinc-ion battery Alkaline battery Additive Non-alkaline 1. Introduction With the increasing depletion of fossil fuels and serious environmental problems, the development of sustainable new energy has attracted much attention. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an energy storage dev...

corrosion rate and ion transfer velocity in the presence of HTS. Notably, a transition stage was found over − 0.95 ~ − 0.90 mV in the Tafel plots of HTS, indicating a unique deposition process. Inspired by this observation, LSV curves were conducted under broad negative polariz...
The hydrogen evolution at the anode occurs during the rest and operation of the battery [42,43]. Given that the equilibrium potential of Zn2+/Zn (−0.76 V vs. SHE) is lower than that of H2O/H2(0 V vs. SHE) in the entire pH range (Fig.2g), the coexistence of Zn and H2O is ...
(PPi)26-as a negolyte shifts the Zn2+/Zn plating/stripping potential to −1.08 V (vs. SHE), increasing cell voltage to 1.61 V. Such high voltage Zn-I2flow battery shows a promising stability over 250 cycles at a high current density of 200 mA cm−2, and a high ...
which can reduce battery performance or even cause a short circuit [47,48]. Zn metal electrodes are also concerned with parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)-mediated corrosion and uneven deposition of zincate ion (Eq.5). These issues can lead to reduced cycling stability of the cell or...
(e.g., the ion diffusion and the emission of the reaction products) at the three-phase reaction interface, which should be attributed to the formation of the open space within a three-dimensional (3D) nanostructured array network[25]. Notably, a bimetallic-activated MnO2self-supported electrode...
Zn-ions batteryOERManganese Dioxide (MnO2) as an efficient cathode material for zinc-ions battery (ZIBs) and water oxidation has always been a research emphasis because of its rich crystal phases, tunnel and layered structure, which is conducive to the deintercalation / intercalation of zinc ions...
(Ion Power Inc., 35 BC) with a catalyst loading of 1 mg cm–2. The air cathode was then paired with a zinc plate anode and assembled in a battery prototype filled with solution of 6.0 M KOH and 0.20 M Zn(CH3COO)2. The flexible Zn–air battery was fabricated through ...
Electrolyte plays an essential role in battery electrochemistry affecting the transport properties of the active species between the anode and the cathode. Also, it determines the energy and power density of the batteries. An enormous research effort has been made to enhance the battery performances ...
